Meet your guide in Sighisoara.

Welcome to your adventure in Sighisoara, a gem nestled in the heart of Transylvania. Your journey begins with a visit to the Clock Tower, the emblematic symbol of the town. Next, you'll explore the Monastery Church, a place of historical significance, before ascending the Covered Stairs that lead to the Church on the Hill, offering a picturesque walk through medieval history.

After immersing yourself in the rich heritage of Sighisoara, the tour takes a unique turn with a 30-minute drive to a nearby gypsy community in Brateiu. Here, you will meet the Caldarari, the skilled coppersmiths known for their exquisite copper objects like kettles, cauldrons, and alembics used for distilling tuica, the traditional Romanian brandy. This visit provides a rare glimpse into the traditional crafts and daily life of the gypsies, showcasing their vibrant culture and craftsmanship.

You’ll have the chance to try on traditional gypsy clothing and perhaps purchase a small handcrafted copper item

Tip: This type of cauldron is perfect to make mamaliga (polenta) at your home when you'll miss your trip in Romania.
